    Preparation Steps

    1

    Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and toss them in cornstarch. This helps the meat stay juicy during cooking.

    2

    Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Stir-fry the chicken strips until golden brown. Set aside to rest.

    3

    In the same wok, sauté the thinly sliced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the Sichuan peppercorns and finely chopped chili pepper, if you prefer a spicier flavor.

    4

    Add the bell pepper strips and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until crisp-tender.

    5

    Pour the soy sauce and brown sugar over the vegetables, and stir well to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the vegetables.

    6

    Return the chicken strips to the wok and toss with the vegetables and sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

    7

    Serve the chicken with steamed rice, garnished with fresh scallions or cilantro.
